Question Will a 96 A/C compressor work on a 92?

I got this at a salvage yard for a 100. going to use freeze 12 or 134 after I flush becouse my old one compressor grenaded. Also got a new receiver-drier and thermal expansion valve. Thanks

The reason that I was asking was because I have seen a couple of them on the Internet that say 1990 through 2000 with the part number of NIP080973L Remanufactured Nippondenso 10PA20C Compressor

Shaft: Splined
Cross Bolt
Switch: Yes (Rear)
Type: Lexus
Number of Grooves: 6
Clutch Diameter: 4.74"
Mounting Distance: 0.32"

I have an electric vacuum pump and gauges. thanks python
I can change the plug. maybe I should use my old speed sensor . At least I know the new compressor can handle 134a head pressure are you sure about freeze 12 all of the little bit of information I have been able to find about it sounds too good to be true!

freeze 12 is nothing more than 80-20 mixture of r 134 and something called hcfc 142b. ur probably right,it is better than r134

It will work. Just splice the plugs as necessary.
I mounted a '90 LS400 A/C compressor on a '95 and it works fine.
